What Would They Want With A Real One?!
(I work in a VERY touristy area of Wales. We speak fluent Welsh, English, and “Tourist.”)
Customer: “Excuse me?”
Me: “Hi! How can I help you?”
Customer: “You’re going to think I’m crazy, but do you sell sheep droppings? I’ve seen them in shops around here before!”
Me: “Um… ma’am, actual ones or chocolate ones?”
Customer: “Oh! I hadn’t thought! I just saw boxes of sheep droppings the last time I was up this way. I have friends coming from New Zealand and I need to prove the Welsh are crazier about sheep than their lot are!”
Me: “Um. I’m gonna go safe and say you’re definitely thinking of the chocolate ones.”
(I gave her the directions to a major “tourist tat” retail outlet in the next town along.)
